Good guess, but no cigar. Believe it or not, the box (almost) never uses
swap space. I know the box is weak, so I'm careful how I use it. I don't
have any services running, and I (mostly) never run more than one app at
a time. Actually, the FC6/KDE system used a lot more memory than
F10/XFCE but it worked fine.
